New York Republican Rep. Tom Reed announced he is resigning from Congress on Tuesday, cutting his term a few months short after being accused of sexual misconduct in March 2021.
In his farewell address on the House floor, Reed said, “It has been an honor to serve with you all from both parties. I love this institution as it still exemplifies what is best about our government.”
Former lobbyist Nicolette Davis told The Washington Post last year that Reed touched her back and unhooked her bra without consent while he was drunk in a bar in 2017. The congressman apologized several days later, blamed the incident on his alcohol addiction, and said he would not run for reelection in 2022.
Reed, who has served almost 12 years as the representative for New York’s 23rd District, plans on joining the government relations firm Prime Policy Group, sources told Buffalo News. MORE
Another RINO calling himself a RepubliTard.
Well……bye.
“I love this institution as it still exemplifies what is best about our government.”
We have met the enemy and it is us.
In 110 years, our culture, as expressed through our Congress, has perpetrated more corruption and passed more unconstitutional ‘law’ than our Founding Fathers could ever imagine.
Good riddance to the alcoholic RINO.
He’s so ashamed of what he’s done that he’s becoming a lobbyist.
Tru dat.
No doubt there will be other RINO scum on the crest of the red wave in November, polluting whatever GOP majority which floods into the swamp. I’m not holding out much hope for a sea change.
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
“Served?”
Really?
What a lying, hypocritical maggot – along with the other lying hypocritical maggots in the House and Senate (Executive and SCROTUS, too).
You always find turds floating at the top of the Septic Tank.

izlamo delenda est …
Just switch parties and you will be fine.
